Either Sanchez or Bradford will be starter and Barkley will be second string. Since the loser of the Sanchez/Bradford fight will probably be cut then Tebow could stick with the team as third string.

I’m sorry, but perhaps I’m misreading your comment.
Bradford 1
Sanchez 2
Barkley 3
Tebow 4
That’s the depth chart prior to the game. And the depth chart you reference in your post.
You seem to be suggesting that (say Bradford wins the starter’s job) that the Eagles would get rid of their #2 guy on the depth chart to keep #4. Or even stranger, that they would get rid of Bradford (currently #1) if Sanchez wins the job and Tebow (currently #4) stays.
With tongue firmly planted in cheek, that is why you are an anonymous contributor to an anonymous internet forum and not a player development guy in the NFL.
Are you contending that the
It’s a fun prediction game to play, the Eagle’s QB pick’em.
I think Sanchez doesn’t make it, they start Bradford, and keep the other QB’s for when Bradford gets injured around week 1 of the regular season.
Everybody wanted Sanchez to work, but he’s turned out to be the second coming of Ryan Leaf.
I think that Sanchez and Bradford are both fighting for the number one spot. Barkley is number 2 and Tebow is number 3. Whoever loses the number one spot is not going to remain with the team; salary cap reasons alone would prevent that. Bradford is about a $13 million hit to the cap and Sanchez is about $5.5 million. No team is going to pay that much for a second stringer. So regardless of who is the first string, Tebow has a good shot at remaining on the roster as the third string, unless he does so badly that the Eagles cut him and bring in someone to replace him. His performance on Sunday doesn't warrant that yet.
